| Comparing some mid-line interconnects - thoughts? Both the Audio Art IC-1 and Speltz Anti-ic easily bested the Blue Jeans cables Belden 1505f that I had. Much better clarity and imaging. | |
| Do I need better center ch speaker-dialog unclear? Thanks, I did bump up the center channel to +1 today. As to the room, there is no coffee table, but rather an ottoman we prop our feet on. It would probably absorb sound, rather than reflect it. I can't really put that center speaker in front of t... | |
| Do I need better center ch speaker-dialog unclear? Thanks,This system is in the family room, and behind the speaker(which sits on top of the RPTV) there is a painted wall with ceramic plates and other knick knacks mounted. The wall also has "picture frame" paneling, so I'm not optimistic as to the... | |
| Best $200 speaker cables for overall performance? Well, I have not yet purchased any cables for the Legacys, but I just yesterday received a single run of Alpha Core Goertz MI-2 speaker cable for my center channel speaker in the front system. The MI-2 replaces a run of Speltz anti-cables which ha... | |
| Do I need better center ch speaker-dialog unclear? Update 1: About a year ago, I replaced the PSB with a Paradigm Studio Monitor cc570 version 3. This is definitely better and clearer than the PSB. It should be, as it is significantly more expensive. However, we still had a lot of problems underst... | |
| Need best mid-price ICs for new ss M/C amp... Well, I have now tried out a couple of ics in addition to the Taras. The first is a set of Audio Art IC-1s, and the second is a set of Paul Speltz Anti-cables ics.The primary adjective I would pick to describe the Audio Art is smooth, especially i... | |
| Best $200 speaker cables for overall performance? Thanks, let me know how the sc5s work out. I am currently using a set of Audio Art IC-1 ics on the system for which I am looking for speaker cables. | |
| Best $200 speaker cables for overall performance? OK, thanks for all the replies.At this point, the two choices I am debating are the Straley Reality cables vs. the Alpha Core Goertz MI2. Both are getting great reviews in their price range. Decisions, decisions... | |
| Best $200 speaker cables for overall performance? Sean, you are about to convince me on the Alpha Core MI-2 Veracity!Also, I would be very interested in your modifications of the Legacy 1s. Did this have to do with the capacitors?If you are willing, I'd like to e-mail you regarding this.Thanks,Marc | |
| Best $200 speaker cables for overall performance? Yes, I also had heard great things about the Alpha-Core MI2, but there is some concern about impedance of the cable being a problem for certain amps. I don't know if this would likely be any problem for a standard receiver.D_edwards,This is for an... | |
| Signal Cable or Audio Art Cable for best budget... Hi, I'm glad somebody followed up on this.I tell you what. The Speltz anti-ics are unbelievable. It is like a veil is lifted. I get clarity, soundstaging, imaging, deep bass. All that stuff. Vocals are fabulous. I want to get another set of them w... | |
| How big should center spkr be to set to "large"? Thanks,I don't know if my receiver(Sony DA4ES) offers a choice of frequencies to "cross over" the center channel. I only saw the choices of large, small, or none for the center speaker. Unfortunately, I am not too familiar with the cross over conc... | |
| How big should center spkr be to set to "large"? Thanks Ozz,I am driving all 5 channels with a Sherbourn 5/1500A, which is a 5 mono channel design @ 200 wpc. Weighs about 80 pounds. I have the Legacys bi-wired, and they sound pretty good. Guys, I understand a good sub will make things better, bu... | |
| How big should center spkr be to set to "large"? Actually, I am now quite pleased with the system, both on movies and music. Last night, I toggled the center speaker between "small" and "large", and I think it really sounded a bit better overall with it set to "large". I am going to leave it set... | |
| IS AUDIO ART CABLES THE REAL THING I have a set of the IC-3s(copper) and they are pretty darn good, although I have now replaced them with the Speltz Anti-IC, which is even better to my ear. Admittedly, the Speltz costs more than the IC-1. I have not yet tried the IC-3, but I am in... |
